Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The private French low-cost high-speed rail operator Ouigo has announced an expansion of employment. The company, operating in Spain since a few months ago, aims to extend routes in the country. Specifically, the company expects to create 250 jobs directly and 1050 indirectly in the coming months. The most demanded profiles are train drivers, crew members, logistics staff, cleaners, and administrative staff, although the company also plans to create technical jobs linked to IT, engineering, and security. The company currently has 135 direct employees and 1300 indirectly through its suppliers.
